<a name='Tcl Todo'></a><h3>Tcl Todo</h3>
<p>Will Coleda posted more todos for Tcl.  Like last week, I won't summarize them all.  But I am very happy to see Tcl coming along again.  I must say that I always like watching the test percentages climb.</p>
<a name='Parrot 0.4.1'></a><h3>Parrot 0.4.1</h3>
<p>Leo announced the release of Parrot 0.4.1.</p>
<a name='Sun's Compiler No Like CRLF'></a><h3>Sun's Compiler No Like CRLF</h3>

<a name='atan2 issues'></a><h3>atan2 issues</h3>
<p>Joshua Hoblitt committed a possible fix for some atan2 issues occuring on openbsd, solaris, and cygwin.  The fix didn't help cygwin or solaris.  No word on openbsd.</p>

<a name='Event System Question'></a><h3>Event System Question</h3>
<p>Klaas-Jan Stol wondered why events (unlike exceptions) are handled after a little time instead of immediately.  Leo explained that this was due to the asynchronous nature of an events arrival and the inability to resume execution after a long jump.</p>
<p><a href='http://groups.google.com/group/perl.perl6.internals/browse_thread/thread/622417a1fb7b15c6/0ab9e044ba779988' target='_blank'>groups.google.com</a>#0ab9e044ba779988</p>

<a name='Credits'></a><h3>Credits</h3>
<p>The ever modest Nick Glencross updated his name in the credits file to be a little more understated.  Oddly, no one applied the patch.</p>
<p><a href='http://groups.google.com/group/perl.perl6.internals/browse_frm/thread/d57f1d7f86dd17d5/ba9a9277f45d4b94' target='_blank'>groups.google.com</a>#ba9a9277f45d4b94</p>

<a name='pkgsrc build'></a><h3>pkgsrc build</h3>
<p>Anders Nor Berle provided a few patches making thing work a little more smoothly with FreeBSD and pkgsrc.  Jerry Gay reviewed the patches and Florian Ragwitz applied the relevant portions.  In fact, 0.4.1 got added to pkgsrc for the curious.</p>

<a name='static and shared libparrot'></a><h3>static and shared libparrot</h3>
<p>Florian Ragwitz provided a patch that fixed the issue with building both a shared and static libparrot.  Nick Glencross applied the patch.  Nick Glencross made OS X and HP-UX build shared parrots.  Anders Nor Berle helped FreeBSD along.  Jonathan Worthington brought MSVC into line.  Nick Glencross also finished up the painful task of making it all work on Cygwin.</p>

<a name='Paper on Parrot'></a><h3>Paper on Parrot</h3>
<p>Klaas-Jan Stol posted a link to his paper on Parrot.  It is not yet finished and, like most things documenting parrot, already out-of-date, but it can probably serve as a good introduction.</p>
<p><a href='http://groups.google.com/group/perl.perl6.internals/browse_frm/thread/f62ba03f728f4715/157620587fc8920b' target='_blank'>groups.google.com</a>#157620587fc8920b</p>

<a name='Parrot on Cygwin'></a><h3>Parrot on Cygwin</h3>
<p>Alberto Simões wondered if he was doing something wrong while trying to get parrot to build on cygwin.  Nick Glencross answered that it didn't work yet, but he was on the job.</p>
<p><a href='http://groups.google.com/group/perl.perl6.internals/browse_frm/thread/bc4f9357e6649a12/afb039ecfd6ad300' target='_blank'>groups.google.com</a>#afb039ecfd6ad300</p>

<a name='COWs Eat Memory'></a><h3>COWs Eat Memory</h3>
<p>Leo found an interesting example.  By reversing a string in place using substr he can make Parrot consume memory like never before.  This was causing a panic, which he fixed.  But the core issue remains.</p>
